Come and Experience the True Test of Links Golf

England’s Golf Coast has a rich history of hosting the world’s most prestigious golfing events, including The Open Championship, The Ryder Cup and The Walker Cup. In 2015, when Royal Lytham & St Annes hosts the Walker Cup, it will join Royal Birkdale in being one of only three clubs to have hosted all three events (the other is Muirfield).

You too can take on these true tests of championship golf and walk in the footsteps of such great champions as Tom Watson, Seve Ballesteros and Tiger Woods, all Open Champions at one of our three Open Championship venues. With an average age of 114 years, our member clubs have plenty of history to enjoy and explore.

Although the three Open venues are the ‘jewel in the crown’ of England’s Golf Coast, all of our other courses are not to be overlooked. Hillside, Formby, Southport & Ainsdale and West Lancashire are all included in the ‘Top 100 Courses of the UK & Ireland’ and have all hosted The British Amateur Championships and final qualifying for the Open Championship. In 1937, Southport & Ainsdale became the first club to host The Ryder Cup twice.

All of our other member courses also have a rich history of hosting major events. Delamere Forest, Fairhaven and Wallasey are all ranked in the Top 100 in England and have all been used as Open Championship final qualifying venues. Golfweek, in America, ranks Wallasey 32nd in their 2013 rankings of Great Britain & Ireland’s classic courses. Hesketh, the oldest club in Southport, has also hosted Open Championship final qualifying as well as acting as co-host for the 2011 British Amateur Championship.

Caldy has hosted numerous Ladies European Tour Events as well as co-hosting the Senior British Open Championship in 1981. Most recently the club acted as the final qualifying venue for the 2012 Ricoh Women’s British Open, held at nearby Royal Liverpool.

With so many quality golf courses in such close proximity to each other, England’s Golf Coast is the perfect choice for your next golf break.
